[Wait. Did Liam have a daemon at this time in the original book?] She thought but she couldn't remember. It wasn't shown in the nightly visions.

But Aristia didn't think too much of it.
"Oh, well." She just shrugged, pulling the blanket over her and going to sleep.

"Mother, I met the third princess in the palace." Ian Winston said as he chewed his food.
Matilda Winston turned her gaze to him, signalling him to continue.
"I need to give her a gift."

"A gift?" She uttered.
Ian nodded. "Yes. She wanted me to give her a gift."
Then he proceeded to tell his mother about his encounter with Aristia and the others earlier.
